Full Day Trip – Shared on November 6, 2025 • 1 adultHad a great day out with Andrew today! He asked me about my goals for the day: 1. Catch some different species. 2. Catch a good sized fish for a picture and to eat. 3. Hook into something big. Andrew brought me to different spots and on the fish. At the end of the day al boxes were ticked off. Caught quite a bit of different species, caught a nice size coral trout and got sharked by a big bull shark! Worth every dollar for the fishing and the good company by Andrew ;) Highly recommended!

Both my partner and I caught two baby sharks along with a couple of the red Indo snapper? our captain Andrew for the day was supper chilled and took care of us very well from untangling lines to rebating when needed and not to mention the snacks packed were pretty good too. We definitely would love to come back to Airlie and do the same chater with Andrew and his team & a big thanks to Sam as well for organising all the baground work before hand for us. Appreciate you both, yous made our trip to Airlie for the weekend very worthwhile. Our freshly caught fillited fish was definitely the highlight for us!! worth every bite after a great day fishishing, couldn’t get any fresher than that!!! 🙌🍻 Would highly recommend going with the team at Get Out & About Whitsundays Fishing & Tours Until next time well wishes, Rineta & Brayden. ☺️
We went out with Captain Andrew, the most Australian man you’ll ever meet. The day was one of the windiest days and the weather didn’t cooperate, but Andrew took us to many spots to give us a chance even though we were fighting the wind. The fish were definitely a little shy with the weather change, but we still managed to catch a few. We came out to the whitsundays for our honeymoon and this was a great way to see the islands and spend some time on the water. My wife came out and also had a great time! I would highly recommend going on a charter with the get out and about crew! Even if you don’t catch anything the captain and the scenery are great!
Thanks Evan. The day threw everything at us but you were troopers through and through 👍🏻 Best of luck in your future life. Andrew.

Glad you enjoyed your day out in our beautiful Whitsundays. It was a real pleasure having you on board. You did justice to your catch looked like a great meal was had. Safe travels Andrew.
It is never easy to find fish when unusual weather sets in, but Andrew has a bunch of favourite spots from which he can pick and connected us to fish. The skipper made the trip interesting and enjoyable enough that when we found an opportunity to go out the next day, we grabbed it. We will be returning customers.
thanks Andrew. real pleasure having you both on board, both days 😁 hopefully next time the weather will be calmer. 🤞 Andrew.
Had a mate visiting the area and only had a small window to get out for a fish, he caught a solid gold spot cod and we both landed really nice sized grass lip emperors. Had a great day out on the water, everything about the charter was top notch and the skipper was an absolute legend. Would highly recommend.
Thanks Christopher glad we could give you and your mate a great experience pleasure having you both on board. Andrew

I've been fishing my whole life from the rocks in Mornington to the Goulburn River around Seymour, off the Jetty in Glenelg, 'till I was old enough to drive when I first came to Queensland to fish around the mouth of the Don River. Fishing is my life, and I love to share my knowledge with people every day.
